Simple Temperature Sensor Arduino

Hello people, it’s been a while since I have posted projects on this website. This semester was really busy, I didn’t have time to much else, but soon I will have my winter holiday (Here in south our summer holiday is from December to February). Today I am going to show you how to build a simple temperature sensor using one LM35 Precision Temperature Sensor and Arduino, so you can hookup on your future projects. The circuit will send serial information about the temperature so you can use on your computer, change the code as you will. I’m planning to build a temperature sensor with max/min + clock + LCD, and when I get it done, I will post here. Parts: Arduino (You can use other microcontroller, but then you will need to change the code). LM35 Precision Centigrade Temperature Sensor, you can get from any electronic store. Here is the DATA SHEET. BreadBoard Assembling: This is a quick and simple step. Just connect the 5V output from arduino to the 1st pin of the sensor, ground the 3r...

Temperature Sensor DS18S20 PIC16F877A

Here's a temperature sensor (thermometer) circuit that you can easily build. It uses the popular PIC 16F877A microcontroller. The temperature sensor is DS18S20. The DS18S20 communicates through the one-wire protocol. The PIC16F877A communicates with the DS18S20 with the one-wire protocol and gets the information for the temperature and displays it on the LCD. The temperature range of this circuit is -55'C to +125'C. The methods of communicating with the DS18S20 and sending/receiving commands, and reading the temperature value,  are all explained in the DS18S20 datasheet ( datasheets.maximintegrated.com/en/ds/DS18S20.pdf ). Here is the code for the PIC16F877A: (You can download the source file from: https://rapidshare.com/files/1817975964/DS18S20PIC16F877A.c ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- //Programmer: Syed Tahmid Mahbub //Compiler: mikroC PRO for PIC v4.60 //Target PIC: PIC16F877A ------------...

Temperature protection using PTC and LM393

 Used as a protective circuit above uses a component named PTC , the components in the operating obstacles , but obstacles desert PTC component is influenced by temperature, whereby if the cold temperatures of less than 100 degrees celcius , then this component has a few obstacles. And when temperature run to 100 degrees celcius or higher, which is owned PTC resistance will rise ass well. Because it depends on ambitient temperature , the PTC can be assembled into a circuit protection if high ambitient temperature, tand automatically switchess off, circuit like a schematic above. Part List : R1___4K7 R2___10K R3___1K9 R4___1M R5___4k7 TH1__PTC thermistor IC____LM393

Oil Temperature Gauge for 125 cc Scooter

Lots of Far-Eastern scooters are fitted with GY6 engines. These already elderly units are sturdy and economical, but if you want to  “push” the power a bit (so called ‘Racing’  kits, better handling of the advance, etc.), you soon find yourself faced with the problem  of the engine temperature, and it becomes essential to f it a heat sink (of ten wrongly  referred to as a ‘radiator’) on the oil circuit. Even so, in these circumstances, it’s more than reassuring for the user to have a constant clear indication of the oil temperature. Here are the specifications we set for the temperature gauge we wanted to build:  Oil Temperature Gauge Circuit Diagram : no moving parts (so not meter movement), as scooters vibrate a lot!; as cheap as possible (around £12); robust measuring transducer (avoid NTC thermistors and other ‘exotic’ sensors); temperature range 50–140 °C. (122 – 291 °F); audible and visual warning in case of dangerous temperature; compact; waterproof. Let...

Temperature Controlled NICD Charger

This circuit is for a temperature controlled constant current battery charger. It works with NICD, NIMH, and other rechargeable cells. The circuit works on the principle that most rechargeable batteries show an increase in temperature when the cells becomes fully charged. Overcharging is one of the main causes of short cell life, hot cells pop their internal seals and vent out electrolyte. As cells dry out, they lose capacity. Theory The transformer, bridge rectifier, and 1000uF capacitor provide around 22 Volts of DC power to run the rest of the circuit. The 7812 regulator drops this to 12V to run the 311 comparator and 4011 nand gates. The start switch is pressed to start the charging cycle. This causes the two 4011 nand gates, which are wired as an r-s flip-flop, to go into the charging mode. The Red LED is lit, and the VMOS FET current switch is turned on. Charging current runs though the battery pack. If the battery starts out warmer than the reference temperature, the circuit wil...

Temperature Sensor LM35 PIC16F877A

Here's one temperature sensor (thermometer) circuit that you can easily build. It uses the popular PIC 16F877A microcontroller. The temperature sensor is LM35. The LM35 outputs an analog voltage proportional to the temperature. The output from the LM35 is 0.1V/'C. So, when temperature sensed is 61'C, the output voltage is 0.61V. This analog voltage is read by the PIC and processed to display the corresponding temperature value on the LCD. The temperature range for this circuit is 0'C to 150'C. The analog to digital conversion is done by the PIC ADC module. In the code, I've used the mikroC library function for ADC. You can view the library file here: http://www.mikroe.com/download/eng/documents/compilers/mikroc/pro/pic/help/adc_library.htm However, you should have a knowledge of how the ADC module works and how to use it. I had written a tutorial on modalities of operation of the PIC 16F877A ADC. You can find the tutorial here: http://www.blogspot.com/2016/03/mo...
